Download or read book Protests and the Media written by Giedre Kubiliute and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful volume critically explores activist events in their scale and their capacity to attract media attention through a critical event studies lens, offering new perspectives on protests and social movement. This book conceives events of dissent as the public manifestation of counter-narratives that articulate advocacy for policy change. It focuses on the material and virtual manifestation of protest events and the media response to them, associated with three active social movements – Reclaim These Streets, Extinction Rebellion, and Black Lives Matter. In doing so, the text sheds light on how different political orientations within the media articulate the representation of events of dissent manifest by these groups, and how this results in significantly different opinion-forming statements on the issues behind those movements, as well as how this reflects mediated assessment of the responses of politicians, the public, and emergency service responses to protest events. Furthermore, it will explore the role of the Internet in the organisation of protest events and their part in the formation of networks of resistance, enabling the roll out of events with a global reach – demonstrated, more recently, by protests across many European cities against the war in Ukraine. This timely and significant book will appeal to scholars of and those interested in events tourism, protest, political communication, and media, amongst others.

Download or read book The Transformation of University Institutional and Organizational Boundaries written by Emilia Primeri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An emerging issue in higher education studies is that of boundaries crossing. This is the main topic of the book “The transformation of University institutional and organizational boundaries”. Several signals of shifting boundaries can be envisaged in higher education and research institutions which could be glimpsed through organizations, the institutions and changes to the academic profession. That of boundaries crossing in Higher Education is a complex and heterogeneous issue, which characterizes scientific knowledge today and represents a key issue when looking at University transformations across contexts and policies, instruments and practices. The analysis of boundaries supplies interpretative frameworks for the interactions between the development of professions and disciplines, as well as the relationships of the science with various parts of society such as state, professionals and the market. Fuelling further the discussion on HEIs transformations allows capturing changes in the function, objectives and scope of higher education and research institutions, the move beyond sectoral and disciplinary boundaries and the increasingly blurred boundaries of academic professions and of scientific work. Public policies and HE reforms can push or impede the mentioned transformations but they can also derive from individual likelihood of moving in blurring spaces or from the transformations of the epistemic communities and the emergence of new fields and sectors. Hence, changes are there, open to our observations.

It offers unprecedented access to an ongoing effort unparalleled in its organizational pervasiveness and effectiveness. This book aims to turn innovation into a teachable organizational skill."An effective innovation management system is today's "holy grail" for companies worldwide.

These core propositions are the basis for an extensive body of literature.

Through his work, Ahi has made organizational innovation accessible beyond technology-based companies to all organizations pursuing significant impact through innovation.
